Step 7:
Select reflective metallic spray paint, and a can of plastic primer spray paint. If ya try to just paint w/out the primer, the paint will not adhere very well to the plastic. I could not find a reflective metallic paint fer plastic, hence, the primer, etc.
I used spray paint, 'cause I couldn't find mylar ANYWHERE! This seems to work perfect, however!

Step 10:
Go ahead and spray w/metallic after the primer is dry.
Now (after all paint is dry), go ahead and flip the containers upside down. With foam tape, so ahead and line the bottom so that the containers will fit nice and snug. After you stack them all back up, go ahead and look fer light leaks which are easily fixed w/strategically placed foam tape.

Step 11:
Choosing the proper tools, you can take any household fan and use it how ya wud see fit fer yer application.

Step 13:
Using soapstone (or watever ya want), trace the fan just a lil bit bigger than it needs to be. Only about 1/8" larger dia is needed.
Set the cover of the fan in yer cut out, and secure w/some sort of epoxy. I, personally, used liquid nails, then went over that w/a clear silicone.

Step 14:
Here it is all together. The size of container that I selected works perfect fer my 400W air-cooled hood. I will have an exhaust fan on the hood, and possibly another exhaust fan cut into the middle of the stack.
You can see here, that if done the way I did it, ya can even stack them all back fer storage, even w/the fan still attached!
